Embroidered blanket for Baby H

2014 has been a year full of challenges. It has also been a year full of joy: many friends have welcomed their babies, and new babies are always a reason to celebrate.

This blanket was a commission from a dear friend, who requested a specific poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner. They didn’t want to find out the baby’s gender in advance, so we went for a gender neutral fabric combination. I loved working on this blanket and how it turned out. And this time around I had a little model with me to photograph it before sending it off to its new home in Switzerland.
